Lorenzo Fain, the man charged with attempted murder stemming from the brutal beating of his girlfriend, Nantucket resident Catherine Tripp, was ordered held without bail yesterday in Nantucket District Court during a dangerousness hearing.

Judge Joseph I. Macy ruled there was no level of bail or possible conditions of release that could ensure the safety of the victim, and Fain was returned to the Barnstable County Correctional Facility.

Tripp, a 2008 graduate of Nantucket High School, remains at Massachusetts General Hospital suffering from extensive injuries from the attack, including nine broken ribs, a broken nose, lacerations of her liver and kidney, a collapsed lung, and multiple contusions and hematoma.
